The 'Interface Culture Musikkapelle' is an unusual electronic music ensemble where each performer has to build an unique and novel musical interface for musical expression. Without the need of a conductor, smaller groups of musicians propose musical improvisations involving any kind of musical aesthetic.

Retroments is understanding 'retro' as the digital re-building of vintage objects and old instruments. The involved interfaces, used in a traditional way, also can control and play an arrangement of sound structures and melodies created within their altered digital nature.

III. “Scan-In / Ob-ject”

Carlos Ortí, Nathan Guo, Warren Perkovic

Scanning means detecting. It is a discovery happening at the very surface interface of some objects involved. A concert's audience scan is the principle of our improvisation, so they will be responsible of the time structure of the piece.

IV. “Arthropoda”

Viktor Delev, David Gann, Jürgen Ropp, Deniz Saglam,

An improvisation inspired by the arthropod world. Real insect larvae are used to create organic drones, accompanied by instruments resembling insects and their exoskeletons.
